There have been nine combined no-hitters, that is, when multiple pitchers collectively throw a no-hitter during a game. The first was on June 23 , , with Babe Ruth as the starting pitcher. After walking the first batter of the game, Ruth was ejected for arguing with an umpire.

Ernie Shore relieved Ruth; the runner at first was caught attempting to steal second base, and Shore then consecutively retired the next 26 batters without allowing any baserunners.

For a long time Major League Baseball actually recognized Shore's feat as a perfect game as he technically achieved 27 consecutive outs with no batter reaching base the runner caught stealing is counted as being an "out" , but stricter perfect game definitions established after see more below retracted this. The Yankees had been the team who had gone the longest without a no-hitter thrown against them; they were last "no-hit" in by Hoyt Wilhelm , a career relief pitcher making a rare start.

In , Bobo Holloman of the St. Louis Browns pitched a no-hitter in his first major league start not his first major league game though, as he had done a few relief appearances earlier in the season. On April 23 , , Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt 45's they became the Houston Astros the next season became the only pitcher to lose a complete game no-hitter in nine innings when he was beaten by Cincinnati.

The runs scored as a result of two walks, a misplayed ground ball, and two consecutive errors on fly balls, all of which combined to rob Hawkins of his no-hitter and the White Sox of the game, by a score of In all of the 8-inning no-hit losses, the home team did not bat in the 9th, as it already had the lead. A game that is a no-hitter through 9 innings may be lost in extra innings.

In , Fred Toney of the Cincinnati Reds and Hippo Vaughn of the Chicago Cubs squared off in a pitcher's duel that was a hitless, scoreless tie after 9 innings—the only time in baseball history that neither team has had a hit in regulation.

The Reds got two hits in the top of the tenth inning and scored the winning run. In the bottom of the tenth, Toney retired the side and recorded a inning no-hitter. The closest any game has come since to having no hits in regulation was in , when Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game and opposing pitcher Bob Hendley of the Cubs gave up only one hit to the Dodgers; notably, the winning run in this game was scored in the fifth inning, and the game's only hit came in the seventh.

In , Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched twelve perfect innings before losing the no-hitter and the game to the Milwaukee Braves in the 13th. Like Haddix, he too had a perfect game after nine innings.

After an unprecedented nine no-hitters in , and on the way to eight in , including one in regulation broken up in extra innings, one ended early because of weather, and one where the losing pitcher gave up no hits, but errors caused the team to lose, and the home side did not have to bat, Major League Baseball changed the rules so that only no-hit games of nine or more full innings ending with no hits are officially recognized.

No-hitters and perfect games that go into extra innings because the score is tied at the end of regulation play including ties are only recognized if the game finishes without it being broken up. Rain-shortened "official game" no-hitters are also no longer recognized though they always had an " asterisk " in the record books. As a result, Ken Johnson 's 9-inning no-hit loss is the only one that is still recognized in the official baseball record books; the other cases noted above are simply "footnotes" in baseball trivia books and websites including the Elias Sports Bureau.

This ruling, which has caused some no-hitters up to years old to be "reversed", has been quite controversial, especially in the case of the two perfect games that were ended in extra innings and technically fit the "9 inning" definition. The "double no-hitter" by both sides is not officially recognized anymore either; only Fred Toney 's inning feat in that game is officially considered a no-hitter. This remains the only Opening Day no-hitter to date. On the other side of the coin, in Mike Witt of the California Angels pitched a perfect game against the Texas Rangers on the final day of the regular season: September To date, this remains the only no-hitter pitched on the final day of a regular season.

Matt Young, Red Sox -- April 12, , at Indians Young went eight innings in this one, not allowing a hit in the entire game, but not needing to pitch the ninth inning because the Indians, playing at home, were already leading The first run scored in the bottom of the first.

Young walked Kenny Lofton to start the inning and Lofton promptly stole second base. He then stole third during a Glenallen Hill strikeout, putting him just 90 feet from scoring a run. The next batter, Carlos Baerga, reached on a throwing error by shortstop Luis Rivera, scoring Lofton to put the Indians up early on, without a hit. Then in the bottom of the third, Young walked the first two batters of the inning, Mark Lewis and Lofton.

After a groundout from Hill, leading to runners on first and third, Hill stole second base, giving the Indians runners on second and third. Young was somewhat philosophical about the whole thing after the fact. A loss is a loss. But with two outs in the eighth, the story changed dramatically.

He issued a walk to the next batter, Lance Johnson, too, loading the bases. He would go on to appear in left field in just 25 games total in his career, which spanned 11 seasons.

If he had looked over his shoulder, though, he might have seen baseball in a leotard and clown makeup, holding a taser and cocking its head quizzically like a dog. Hawkins was throwing well and missing bats, getting a season-high 17 whiffs on the day.

There was the occasional hard contact, though. Sammy Sosa would hit home runs after that swing, and he would certainly have more than a hundred near-misses. But it's possible, if not probable, that he never again hit a ball harder that didn't leave the ballpark.

Watching that clip without context, it's incomprehensible that the ball wasn't a home run. It was the right swing, trajectory and player, and it should have been 20 rows deep. The wind was nasty and fierce at Comiskey Park that day, though. It's why Chicago is known as "The Windopolis," you know. After the ball burned up on reentry, leftfielder Jim Leyritz was there, waiting for it, catching it without incident. The wind was Andy Hawkins' friend on this day.

For an hour or so. Hawkins took the no-hitter into the eighth. Ron Karkovice popped out on the fourth pitch of the inning. Scott Fletcher popped out on the 10th pitch. Both popups floated around like ping pong balls above the lip of the stadium, but Steve Sax caught both, and Hawkins had just four outs left. That's when the Yankees collapsed.

Some Yankees collapsed metaphorically. Some of them literally. Mike Blowers generally played third base like he was wearing rolled-up sleeping bags on both hands. The rookie committed over errors at third in the minors before the Yankees called him up, and he had a cool.

He would improve in later seasons to be merely bad, but he was an extreme defensive liability the entire time he was with the Yankees.

Sosa came up again and hit a hard chopper that Blowers tried to sidestep and backhand. It was what Tom Emanski would see if Scarecrow blew fear toxin in his face.

Blowers recovered, but the young Sosa was too quick. After some confusion with the official scorer, the no-hitter was still intact. Repeat, the no-hitter was still intact.

Everyone relax. That's a ball that should have been handled. But that's what happens with young players. Ozzie Guillen was never a late-inning threat to hit a dramatic game-winning homer, considering he averaged about a homer or two every year. He was a master of slapping the ball around the field, though, and considering the Yankees' sub-optimal defense, it was a terrifying matchup for someone in the middle of a no-hitter.

Hawkins played it safe. He's hitting like. He's hitting everything," Hawkins recalled. And I walk him. That's on me. Hawkins took Guillen to a full count, losing him on the seventh pitch of the at-bat, and 21st of the inning. He's starting to grind a bit, but he wasn't worried.

Two on. Two outs. No-hitter intact. Centerfielder Lance Johnson followed, and while he could hit, he was never known for his eye or patience. After the Guillen walk, Hawkins was pissed at himself.

I'm going to blow this guy away," Hawkins recalled. The effort to ramp up the fastball, though, led to a four-pitch walk, just the seventh four-pitch walk Johnson had drawn in his career.

Hawkins maintains that he wasn't thinking about the error or no-hitter, just overthrowing. It happens.
